 {title:Memories of East Texas}

  {st:Michelle Shocked}

  

  M[G]emories of East Texas and those pi[C]ne-green rolling hi[D]lls

  C[G]overed in the springtime with go[C]lden daffodi[D]ls

  Ro[C]wing on Sandy la[D]ke come April, ha[G]rvesting h[Bm]ay in J[Em]une

  Si[C]tting by the road watching wellfires burn by an o[D7]ld October moon

  

  {c:Chorus}

       I[C] learned to drive on those East[D] Texas red clay b[G]ackroads

       And I m[C]ean to tell you my fri[D]end they weren't no e[G]asy roads

       You had to w[C]atch out for all the c[D]urves d[G]own by Ke[Bm]lsey C[Em]reek

       And d[C]etour through the Lindsay's pasture when the waters ran too d[D]eep

  

  Memories of East Texas and of Gilmer, county seat of Upshur	

  Looking back and asking myself ``What the hell did you let them break your spirit for?''

  Their lives ran in circles so small, they thought they'd seen it all	

  And they couldn't make a place for a girl who'd seen the ocean		

  

  {c:Chorus}

  

  But those memories of East Texas and those pine-green rolling hills	

  Covered in the springtime with wild daffodils				

  Sitting in those Piney woods, playing my guitar				

  Thinking back on the roads I'd come, thinking I had not come that far	

  

  {c:Chorus}
